its pretty good. it does have some issues with skype though but I've used them for gaming and it works fine. (skype might be the issue though it works very poorly on windows 8)

I just had to return my pair, because the mic quality was unacceptable. In 3 out of the 4 conference calls I tried, using it paired with my phone's bluetooth, people complained of the quality. When I switched to the handset, they heard me fine.

I think the audio quality is very good. Here is a video where I used the ATR-6550 mic from about 4 feet away (it was on top of the camera): http://youtu.be/oZcjUAOaNYA The sound quality is very good, clear, with a bit of room ambiance (and my refrigerator in the background!). I've shot some other videos using the ATR-6550 but haven't put them on YouTube yet.

My friends seem to have no problem with my mic. If you'd heard some of their headset mics you'd probably be quite satisfied with it too. For example, the Alienware headset doesn't have any noise cancellation and picks up a great amount of background noise, and the Razer Kraken Pro has great sound quality but a poor quality mic. Those 2 are the main ones everyone i've seen is buying, I have seen a great many other mics and this one so far beats them all.=)In my opinion, if you have the black shark's mic the correct distance away from your mouth, its sound quality is unbeatable next to a singing mic or something...

No, this mic all round is no good. It's not worth the LONG wait either. I highly suggest looking for a different microphone. I beat box a lot and wanted a mic so I got this, Audio-Technica ATR-1300 Unidirectional Dynamic Vocal/Instrument Microphone It is a really decent microphone, and I haven't had a single problem with it.

This mic is highly directional. Therefore it does not pick up as much extraneous sound (i.e. mouse clicks, fan noises, etc). The downside is that you must speak right into it. I work about five inches away form it and find it a bit quieter than my Blue Yeti. Sound quality is very good.

I've never been on the other end of this mic. I don't know if they would be very good in a noisy environment. I've been told that the sound quality coming through the mic is really clear though, no complaints from other people of it cutting in and out or static like other headsets I've had in the past. These are by far my favorite headset I've ever owned. Very comfortable!

It sounds pretty good. The mic input is only stereo though so if you are looking for 5.1 the built in mic is your only option.

There is a mic and it doesn't work really well with hearing though I can say that after using it for chat on Skype, Yahoo, Gmail, and on my mobile phone... That the quality of my voice is not very good. No matter how I hold the mic up to my mouth in any angle that I can, it doesn't change the quality besides being louder when my mouth is closer. The mic is attached to the wire, it isn't attached to the headpiece itself. As for listening quality though, it is worth it and has an amazing noise-reduction.

I would say the quality is fair to good. The microphone is located on the right side as a part of the controls. The performance is alright for a short period but not off a lengthy conversation.

This is a good mic. I purchased it for my church. We have a mackie system that it is hooked into. It gives a great clear sound. We have also used it for conferences at hotels. It was a great buy and I would highly recommend it.

My wife says that call quality is fine on her end. There is a mic at the same end as the ear bud plugs in.

In my ooinion the microphone works good. For the budget buyer it works great. Use an audio software like audacity to record and tweak and sound problems (which I haven't ran I to) and you got yourself a good microphone.

The sound quality is good, but I use it more for conference calls in which I listen or webinars. I've heard issues with mic quality

No. I boaght this becuase i heard good things about it. After only 3 uses it shorted out started getting static noise and 0% voice pick up. Even when it did work, it could barely pick up any thing. My advice: skip it, spend the extra money get a good mic so it will be worth your money at the end of the day and you won't be disappointed like me.

I don't know the quality of mic or webcam. The Start menu has a button for getting started on Skype.

It's not any better or worse than a normal iphone or Samsung factory head set microphone. I have 2 hollow air sets:) it's worth the price:)
